Clutch Issues

Guys My clutch pedal has just started to go to the floor before I'm able to go into any gear. In Buster it was the clutch master cylinder that tends to go first; was replaced & everything is good. Since they're both E12 based, I'm thinking the same for Rosallina. Am I correct? Thanx in advance,,...

Seems like you found the problem. I would get a cap before the wires but, wires are a good idea. Good luck,,,,Greg Ps; You might want to either buy new plugs or at least clean & re-gap yours? There will be a discussion concerning this but, I use Bosch WR9L SILBERS in both my cars & everythin...

Walmart Brand?? Wow. Have you compared all the particulars?
I buy Castrol 20/50 from Walmart but, I haven't even thought about an off brand for my oil. Wow!
Castrol has been proven in racing, has Walmart? Who makes the oil? Is it cheaper?
Good luck,,,,Greg

When I found Buster, the PO was using a synthetic. I switched to Castrol 20/50 & neither car has complained. I just change the oil every 3000 to 5000 miles. My logic is; if the shavings are not drained, they will be abrasive to the engine because they're still there. To me, it's nothing but hype...

WOW that sucks!! :shock: Glad you were saved by BMW ingenuity & your seat belt. Do you have the top of the interior door handle pulls chrome caps? Living in Long Beach, I can p/u if it's okay. There must be more but, I'm drawing a blank. Oh, the fr & rr bumper shocks? Mine are collapsed, sor...

I used a small mom & pop shop to replace mine from the cat. back on Buster. I only have a rear I think 6" magnaflow muffler. Make sure you stand around the installation to make sure the front pipe is inside any rear pipe for less turbulence which makes it a free-flow system! With 2 1/2"...

Remember, check & replace all bulbs after cleaning the connectors?
Also, replace your fuses?

Instead of buying a new hazard switch, (if you can find one,) go to 'FAQ', scroll down to 'Hazard Switch repair'. The only thing I would add is another small screwdriver to keep the two ends separated as you pry it open. I've done it & it's easy & almost fun! :wink: Don't lose the spring as ...

Injected engines don't generally need to be primed using the go pedal.
Try starting it by turning the key only?
After it sits a while so the injectors aren't flooded.
Hope this works,,,,Greg

Bob
As rare as your car is, you might be better off going to the salvage yards?
Then, you might have one for sale here.
Good luck,,,,Greg
